So much needless hype building up to it.

I remember when I heard about it a few days ago, my thought was "oh, lucky for spain and thought nothing more.

Then the next thing I'm hearing is "96% in UK, ohmygosh" and BBC gushing over it like it was going to be the next biggest thing.

I saw the sky darken slightly. Cool. 2 hours well spent.

I do wish they'd have moved it to the weekend rather than a Wednesday, to accommodate all those people stuck in work.

I don't know why they also decided to have a cloudy day at the same time. Some poor planning.

You guys are getting clouds?

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

It's still stupidly warm up here despite the cloud cover and rain

California here... What are clouds? Do you mean the brown fog stuff that hangs around LA or the smoke from all the fires or whatever?
